The Department of Emergency Medicine is honored to have a diverse and talented team, including those of Asian American and Pacific Islander descent. Their contributions to our department and the field of emergency medicine are invaluable. #AAPIHeritageMonth
This morning, I joined patients with powerful stories around abortion care, Senator Natalie Murdock, Sen. Mary Wills Bode, Rep. Julie von Haefen, Drs. Pettigrew & Schultz, thatoneguy, & Tara Romano (@ProChoice_NC), to discuss the ways that anti-abortion policies negatively impact EVERYONE.
Don't be mistaken: Reproductive freedom is on the ballot here in North Carolina. What just happened in Arizona could happen here if my opponent, Mark Robinson, is elected. He's said he wants to enact a TOTAL ban on abortion — and it’s on us to stop him. apnews.com/article/arizon…
Watching my physician mom mentor take the stage is always an inspiring moment. Sree Natesan, MD (she/her), you are such a gift to our profession.

Kamala Harris just called for a cease fire in Gaza while standing in front of the Edmund Pettus Bridge to commemorate Bloody Sunday in the birthplace of multiracial democracy in America: Selma.
I'm proud to join Kamala Harris, Dr. Jill Biden, and women across the country for the launch of Women for Biden-Harris.
There's so much at stake for women this year. We need everyone to get off the bench and get to work to help re-elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
